Java Web Development Fundamentals with JDBC, Servlets, and JSP

Moving from desktop Java to the web requires a deep understanding of how servers handle requests and communicate with databases. This course guides you through the foundational technologies that every Java web developer needs to master before moving on to complex frameworks. You will gain the skills to build robust, server-side applications that interact with relational databases and deliver dynamic content to users. By the end of this course, you will be able to architect web applications using the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and manage data persistence effectively. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture and lifecycle of Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP). - Connect applications to databases using the JDBC API for data storage and retrieval. - Manage user sessions and maintain application state in a stateless web environment. - Use JSTL and Expression Language (EL) to create clean, maintainable web interfaces. - Implement the MVC design pattern to separate business logic from presentation. - Practice modern development workflows including basic dependency management and connection pooling. - Apply essential security principles to protect applications from common vulnerabilities like SQL injection. The course begins with fundamental web concepts and server setup, then moves through database connectivity and dynamic page generation through written explanations and code exercises. It is designed for learners with a basic knowledge of Java who want to start their journey in web development. Begin your path to becoming a Java web developer by mastering these core technologies.
